Utilities.
Applian Coolcalc: calculator program that allows you to specify a scheme and functions to the calculator. You can also create custom scheme or download and install one. Come with few different calculator integrated such as tip calculator, scientific calc, Business, RPN, binary calc...... The registered version is $30, the demo only last 30 days.
Snoopsoft Dashboard: this great utility lets you customized your Today's page, with options such as Agenda, Mail, Tasks, Calendar, and a Launcher. The last lets you launch applications without getting into the start menu!!! Many skins are currently available, but if you are talented, you can make your own! $10.
Conduits Mirror: Program that shows a black screen in order to reflect your image if you want a quick look at yourself. Does not provide great details, and you might want to locate a bathroom instead of using this program. Use it only if you have a large CF card and you don't care about installing useless program on. Freeware.
Conduits Peacemaker:use to communicate with Palm Pilot OS. You can exchange business cards, and files with PPC. The basic program is free, but in order to exchange files you need to get the professional version for about $10.
Conduits Validate: Get rid off annoying shortcuts from your CF card while not inserted into the PPC. Very easy to use and install. A must have freeware.
Gigabar: I tried this freeware few weeks after getting the iPAQ and thought it was just to much to setup and it seemed to take resources from the system. I never really took the time to fully read the user manual included with the software. It was my biggest mistake! This software doesn't slow down you PPC (you can check out the review of Dale Coffin at ) and makes the use of the PPC much easier and personal. You can customize it the way you want with almost no limitations. Make sure you read the instruction, it might take you about 10-15 minutes of reading and then you'll be ready to roll!!!
A must have freeware!Jimmy iPAQ overclock: Must have freeware that allows you to set the clock speed on your iPAQ. Slower for energy savings or faster for full potential of the CPU. I use it at 236MHz all the time. The system is pretty stable even though it crashes once in a while when sync to the computer and running background programs such as IM and Inbox. A much have freeware.
Jimmy Landscape 2:use to switch to landscape view on your iPAQ. The program launches easily and gives you the option to rebook. The soft reset during view switch is not quite as powerful than pressing on the reset button of your iPAQ. Some settings are conserved but you will need to reset the input method. The new beta allows you to switch the display. Nice feature for browsing on wider pages even though the readability becomes a concern. Turjah does not work with the landscape mode, and I haven't tried other games yet. This software might be useful if you have long text to write, allowing you to use the Transcriber with the full screen, or even if you want to view larger websites. $10 ($15 for the latest release).
Maximilian Wimmer PTE: Complete periodic table. Some options. A must for Chem students. Freeware.
Maximilian Wimmer Unit Converter: unit converter. Very useful converter. Includes speed, temperature, forces, length, weight...... Freeware with little pop-up window.
Microsoft Power contact: add some functions to your contact program.
Microsoft Today Screen Image tool: This little app let you put a picture on your Today's page. Pretty nice if you want to customize your PPC and make it look more like a real Windows 9* platform. Freeware.
MXClock: Clock utility that is supposed to let you put a picture of your choice on the background. Option for alternating the background picture. I've tried this app and got stuck with the default cat picture on the clock!!!!!! Don't waste your money, move on.
Newmad Technologies ColorPicker: Let you customize the color of practically everything on your PPC. I haven't used it much since it does require you to update the registry and I don't really like this too much.
Pessaux IDic: Little dictionary. It doesn't correct your mistakes but let you know if the word used exists. You can also upload custom dics. It's a freeware so I guess you may want to try it if you got some extra storage.
Pocket Streets 3.02: When used in conjunction with Streets and Trips 2000 this software let you upload custom maps on you PPC and view them at a later time. It also includes a very useful zoom option. It's a freeware.
Note: the latest version did not work on my iPAQ with my 2000 maps. The maps could apparently not be read and you might need to upgrade to Streets and Trips 2001. If you need this version (3.02), email me I'll sent it to you!Regedit: Registry editor. A must have app, especially if you're trying to get an Internet connection going through the cradle. $20
Scoot Seligman KeyStrokeCE: Input method quite original. I tried this app because it was a freeware. I took me some time to finally have a clue how to make it work. Still, I'm not an expert so don't ask me! Also once installed, you can't remove the dll that easily since it is used by the system. Lack of documentation made that program quite uninteresting. Freeware.
Today's the day: this app let you customize your today's page. Make it a little more personal. You can download tons of skins, and make your own! Freeware.
Transcriber: Microsoft's original. I mostly use it, except to enter password or sometimes change the punctuation of a document.
Trend Micro PC-cillin: Be prepared, virus are coming on PPC!!!! A MUST HAVE, Freeware. Anti-virus that scans your entire files. REMEMBER...
Unzip: Freeware that let you unzip files. Nice to have just in case.
Virtual iPAQ: Desktop application that let you see and manage your PPC from your computer. You can view the screen of your PPC and starts apps from your desktop. Great to show off to your friends. Relatively easy install (only one file to copy to your PPC /windows dir). The free unregistered version doesn't allow you to copy the files directly onto your desktop. You got to spend some bucks for that feature.
Dockware: application that puts a clock on your background while not used. It comes with a calendar, and switches pictures at specific intervals. You can customize the pictures. The transitions are nice. Freeware. You can buy it if you would like to add features.
Mascot: sweet little Japanese character that you can place on your screen and that tell you the time (in a bubble). You can customize captions and graphics. Freeware. After downloading the program, you can get the English text file at: http://www.mtdn.fr.st/
OKSeriously.com Flashlight: shows a blank screen to use the PPC as a flashlight! Don't really need it unless you got some memory to waste! Freeware
OKSeriously.com ToneDialer: utility that allows you to dial you contact phone number without using keypad. Just select the number to compose and tap! Doesn't work to well when external noise is high! But it's better getting it compare to others since it's a freeware!
Jonathan Sachs Ephemeris: utility for astronomers that let you check the moon phase, sunrise and sunset, all this calculated for your specific date and location (longitude, latitude...). Freeware.
Jonathan Sachs StopTime: chronograph for you PPC. Freeware.
